REVIEW: Coke With Lime

(Editor’s Note: Today’s review subject was suggested by another resident on this rock in the middle of the Pacific Ocean, Lakitu. At first, I wasn’t going to review it, because Lakitu actually likes sparkling water. This made me think she was crazy…or has no taste buds. But she likes to lick sparkling water off of hot bodies, so I figured she couldn’t be so bad. So here’s the review. Enjoy.)

Hey! Hey! You two stop it!

Don’t make me pull over, because if I do, you two will regret it.

Why can’t you two just get along, Coke and Pepsi?

Coke, stop messing with Pepsi’s cap! I said stop!

If you two can’t play nice, I’m going to make the two of you walk home.

What did you say, Coke? Don’t you fizz at me!

I said cool it!

I swear you two are going to drive me insane. See all the white hair and the fillings? I got them from you two.

You just wait until we get home. I’m going to put one of you in the vegetable drawer and one of you in the freezer for a timeout session.

No, Pepsi, I don’t care if you explode in the freezer, I can always get another one of you.

Now what’s this I hear about Coke with Lime. Now Coke, you just can’t keep sticking stuff in you. You did lemons, cherries, and vanilla. What’s next? Chocolate? Strawberries? Pomegranate? You’re gonna get sick, and if you get sick, you’re going to make other people sick.

Remember the time you stuck Pop Rocks in you? What happened? You threw up. And who had to clean that mess? I did.

But I did try Coke with Lime and thought it wasn’t bad. The lime taste was really weak, unlike the vanilla taste in Vanilla Coke and the cherry taste in Cherry Coke. Also, I think the lime took out some of the bite that you usually have, Coke. I have to say I’m very disappointed in you.

See this is what happens when you don’t think before you act.

The same goes for you, Pepsi. You can’t play mad scientist, like Coke. I know what you’re up to, Mister. I’m sure you’re working on your own version of Coke with Lime in your room and you’re probably going to call it Pepsi Splash, Pepsi Squirt, or Pepsi Squeeze.

Just to let you know, nobody likes a copycat.

Also, I found the issues of Playboy under your mattress. You know, every time you masturbate, God kills a kitten.

Yeah, I had that one too.. only the Diet version. While Diet Coke is decent enough, when you add lime to it for a grand taste change of less than a percent, it just gets irritating.
And so, you go back to good ol’ Coke.
Interesting that Pepsi and Coke have different tastes in India and the UK.
Hmm.. now what did I want to say here ?
Nothing.

Time to tell you all how this works in Norway. Why? Because I have nothing else to do.

We have Coke (normal one), diet Coke, and diet with some sitrus-thing. Then there is Pepsi (normal one), diet Peps, and diet with some sitrus-thing. And it has been like that forever. Coke tried vanillaCoke a while back, but I believe I was the only one in the country that liked it.

We do not get anything new here. Boring. Anyone got a spare bed over there? Norway is so boring. hmm… Fanta has got like 1001 different tastes here, mabe I should be happy with that.

There already is Pepsi with Lime. And it’s just called Pepsi with Lime, although your suggested names are much better. It’s really new; I’ve only seen it in one store so far. But it’s better than Coke with Lime. The Lime taste is stronger and more natural.

The other new thing is that Pepsi One has been reformulated so it is now sweetened with Splenda for the low-carb crowd.

If you’re actually planning a trip to Disneyland, you’re gonna have to leave ol’ Pepsi behind — DL is a Coke ONLY theme park, and don’t you forget it. Poor Pepsi has to settle for going to Six Flags Magic Mountain instead.

i’ve enjoyed being in europe and not having to hear the silly soda wars. here it’s coke, “coke light” (diet coke), sprite, and the million different incarnations of Fanta (which is very different than Fanta in america).

another interesting tidbit – when eating out in germany, beer is much cheaper than soda. i hear the government is trying to change this because young teenagers order beer to save their allowance.

Diet, Regular and Cherry flavored are the only flavors that should be allowed to be in a soda. Cherry is my favorite so they should keep that around and get rid of all the other weird ones. No one likes too many choices!!! You would get confused.

Kaela – Oh, Lord. Splenblah. Just another reason for me not to try it. But I should. Damn this quasi-product review blog gig.

David – Yeah, I’m too lazy to check. But I swear when Crystal Pepsi was introduced, Coke must have started work on Clear Coke.

Mellie – I’ll sneak it in. No six-foot mouse costume is going to tell me what to drink at Disneyland. If they got a problem with it, I’ll take them all on. Goofy, Pluto, Donald, the Seven Dwarfs. They’re all going down.

Megan – Could you list all the Fanta flavors for me? A million seems a bit much. 😉

Becky – Choices are what makes this country great. It’s freedom. Imagine this country without choices. We wouldn’t be able to wear hot pink t-shirts…Wait, where am I going with this? Oh, never mind.

Actually, I really liked Diet Coke with Lemon…it made really good Rum and Diet Cokes. But there’s not enough flavor in the lime version. I never did see regular coke with lemon, either, just diet. Although I have seen Diet Coke with lime and I didn’t care for it much…just not enough lime flavor. Oh well…even though the lemon-flavored version of Diet Coke is hard to find these days, there’s always Bacardi Limon.

The Lime version of coke only exists because the diet version came out a year ago and is actually pretty good. The slight lime in the drink kills much of the aftertaste of the diet, but doesn’t have the Pledge overtones that lemon cola has.

The diet version is a very popular drink, so Coke decided to see if there was a market for sugar lime.

Okay. I should have done some better research. There is Fanta Orange, Fanta Shokata (donâ€™t know what Shokata means), Fanta Green Apple, Fanta Lemon. This is according to the Fanta website. There are bottles in the store that does not appear in http://www.fanta.no they are called Fanta Free and you also find them in all the types. Orange, Shokata, Green Apple, and Lemon. Donâ€™t know if this is a lot of types, I honestly thought there where more types. (I believe that the Swedish citizens get more types, anyone to confirm?)

You have Coca-Cola, Coca-Cola light, and Coca-Cola light lemon.

I didnâ€™t find info regarding the selection of Pepsi in Norway. The main distributor is Ringnes http://www.ringnes.no but they only front regular Pepsi on their website.

Regarding stupid commercials for Fanta. YES! They are boring and they seem to air the one commercial 398 times before they change it. It is very annoying.

By the way! Did you know that Fanta was invented in Germany during WWII because they could not get Coke? And that Fanta comes from Fantasie witch means imagination. Nice one.

Toni/Damon – Chocolate Coke? Sounds really bad for me. I like. I must try it. I’ll try it after I cleanse my body from eating all that McDonald’s food.

Chuck – Mmmm…Bacardi Limon.

birdwoman – I’ve never tried the diet version, because I usually avoid diet sodas like I do boy bands.

Aymie’s Mom – I’m the kitten Grim Reaper.

macOtto – Here in the US, we have Shasta soda. There are a few dozen flavors, but I’ve only seen eight of them. The good thing about them is that they come in larger than normal bottles and are cheaper than most sodas.

My recommendation for full flavor? Get a real Pepsi with lime from Mexico:
–> Pepsi made with sugar = Pepsi (con azucar)
–> Lime = Limon
–> Coke = Cocaina
All ingredients readily available in any US border town except for those with “Denny’s” or “Village Inn’s” (pesky “minutemen”).

but, like MacOtto said, there are many more not listed. I think those are the German Exclusives but we get to try other countries flavors too. at least that is how i picture it working. i just know that we have more Fanta here than there is Shasta back home. (and it tastes MUCH better)

Jay Nickola – Pepsi AM was a product from the late 1980s. It was described as a breakfast cola. It had twice the caffeine as regular Pepsi. It wasn’t out for very long and I didn’t get the chance to try it.

Aurelia – Here in the US, they call it Pepsi Twist, too. They probably named it that so they don’t seem like they’re copying Coke.

I can also sympathize with your Jalapeno Pringles review and the whole Wal-Mart experience. I can NOT leave that place without spending a minimum of $30-40 or more…NEVER. I hate myself everytime I leave for supporting that store. But it’s just so dang CHEAP!!!
